SUPPORT Following the advance cavalry is the support, varying in strength from one fourth to one half of the advance guard. In mixed commands it consists of infantry, to which engineers may be attached. If there is no ad- vance cavalry, some cavalry should be attached to the support for reconnoitering duty.
As the support moves out it sends forward an ad- vance party several hundred yards, the distance varying with the terrain and the size of the command.
Digitized by Google THE THEORY OF SECUR
...ITY 227 The advance party supplements the work of the ad- vance cavaby, reconnoitering to the front and flanks to guard the support against surprise by eflfective rifle flre.
The patrol preceding the advance party on the line of march is called the point, and is commanded by an offi- cer or an experienced noncommissioned officer.
With the advance cavalry in front but little recon- noitering by infantry is necessary, and the advance party is relatively small — one eighth to one third of the sup- port.
